ONE STEP AT A TIME

On the new treatment of the Merck Integrase Inhibitor (in expanded access) along with Truvada, Presista and Fuzeon. Did become undetectable after the first month. I'm not celebrating yet. Wait and see if it holds. I was happy to see that my cd4 count went up to 333, and my lymph nodes are the smallest they've been in 20 years. Hopeful, but still....

I do have a certain sadness. If I am undetectable, what does that mean, and who will I be.
And I think of the people who have died over the past year, especially Bruce Bills, and Peter Englehart, Bob Terry, Ross Hamilton, etc., who may have been saved by the new Integrase along with Presista. But time ran out for them.

For now, just dealing with the side affects, primarily of Fuzeon. Again, the achy, flu-like symptoms.
